Duct tape
Or maybe get a spool of heavy-duty nylon thread and sew it together using the big holes in the strap and finding some other area in the helmet to attach to.

Check manufacturer's website. Contact them. Maybe it's under warranty. Maybe they'll send you a replacement part for free, or cheap money. Or a completely new helmet since this one broke without your head in it.

I replaced a Giro Atmos retention system that broke on me. I ordered it online with extra pads and I was good to go. Look online you might find something if you feel your helmet is worth it.

I would worry that parts are getting too brittle if one broke that easily.
I vote for replacing the entire helmet.

It's dead Jim.
Seriously, contact the maker for new part if possible or buy a new helmet.
